Wow - I can't believe how complicated this can be.
I have several computers on a home network. I can see all of them in Network
Places but one. The one I can't see I'll call Computer A.
Computer A is running XP Pro. When using Computer B also running XP Pro
(another computer) on the network Computer A does not show up in Network
Places but does show in View Worgroup Computers. When I attempt to connect I
get the following message:
"\\Computer A is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of thsi server to find out if you
have access permissions."
This is the ipconfig file for Computer A

I have no firewall's running and only Norton AntiVirus.
So I guess my question is - Why can't computer B see computer A in Network
Places and more importantly what do I do to recitify that?
